Strange Capture of Salmon in a Norwegian River
A June fishing tale from Norway describes a fisherman losing a 29 pound salmon after a line breaks the same day he hooks a second fish. In the afternoon, the same angler catches a larger fish that is gaft and landed, only to reveal the prawn tackle never touched it. The line had snagged the lost cast and, as the prawn swung, it dragged the cast and tackle from the salmon. Witnesses say the salmon may abandon the pool after a lengthy fight.
